They enhance the communication between designers and developers by passing along useful information. With them, we can do things like go to a URL, play a sound, have some HTML appear, or do anything else we may want to accomplish via code. diff --git a/runtimes/rive-events.mdx b/runtimes/rive-events.mdx index 9d200293..2ecf7c7a 100644 --- a/runtimes/rive-events.mdx +++ b/runtimes/rive-events.mdx @@ -13,6 +13,8 @@ import { YouTube } from "/snippets/youtube.mdx"; as possible. **This content is provided for legacy support only.** + + With Rive events, you have the ability to subscribe to meaningful signals that get reported from animations, state machines, and Rive listeners, all created at design time from the Rive editor. These signals can be subscribed to at runtime and have a specific name, type, and various custom metadata that may accompany the event to help inform the context surrounding its meaning. For more on the Events feature in general, check out the [Events](/editor/events/overview) page in the editor section of the docs. The Event system has also been expanded to support [Audio Events ](/editor/events/audio-events)to trigger audio to play in the editor and at runtime.
